Emily Kathrine Winebrenner, 30, passed away on March 1, 2016.

As a child Emily was full of potential and spunk; she always wanted to do things in her own way.  This stubborn streak served her well during her long struggle.  Emily was also a compassionate and sensitive soul.  She readily saw the best in people and was equally quick to forgive.  Her two greatest loves were her sons Andrew and Riley.

Emily is survived and mourned by her father Kurt Winebrenner, her mother Julie Winebrenner, her sons Andrew and Riley, her brother Samuel Kail, her step-mother Kimberly Winebrenner, her grandparents Terry and Patricia Hennessy and grandparents William and Donna Winebrenner.  She will be missed.

Memorial Calling Hours will be from 4 to 7 pm Monday at Hennessy Funeral Home (corner of York and Main) 552 N. Main St., Akron.
